Edward Gorginian is an ICC Certified Master Electrician and IAEI Certified Electrical Inspector, has two AS degrees from Pasadena City College, and currently teaches two classes at San Jose City College. He says his mechanical skills and ability to solve complex issues are two of the many reasons engineers and technology professionals love working with E.G. Electrical Services. “As one of my clients says, ‘Edward is not just an electrician—he’s a master at what he does, and his dedication and integrity show it.’”
“We strive to keep our clients satisfied by providing excellent electrical work that ensures safety and keeps systems running efficiently. We try to always exceed their expectations by providing prompt, clean service and knowledgeable advice that can help them avoid future problems. We provide true customer service in every sense, and we treat each client the way they deserve to be treated. Customer satisfaction isn't an act for us, it's a habit.”
You can never be too careful when it comes to household electrical safety.
“If a light is flickering, for example, there’s probably a loose connection on the circuit, which can lead to an electrical fire,” cautions Edward Gorginian, owner of E.G. Electrical Services in Campbell. Mr. Gorginian also urges homeowners to frequently check their electrical panels. “Older panels manufactured by Federal Pacific or Zinsco have breakers that tend to not trip when overloaded. Those should be replaced by better quality panels.”
Periodic “electrical safety” checks around your home can prevent accidents and avoid costly repairs. Consider the following as a starting point:
• Repair or replace frayed, damaged or broken electrical cords.
• Ensure electrical cords aren’t under rugs or otherwise hidden.
• Avoid using extension cords. If necessary, use only 3-pronged cords.
• Never replace an old fuse with one of higher amperage.
• Ensure your home’s exterior is well-lit with sensor lighting on your garage, front porch and rear entry.
• Replace bad light bulbs. Be sure to use the correct wattage for the fixture (usually indicated by a wattage sticker on the base of the lamp socket).
• Repair or replace appliances that are broken or not operating correctly (if they make an unusual noise or emit a burning smell).
• Check outlets to ensure they’re not overloaded and cover those not in use.
• Test smoke alarms and replace their batteries if necessary.
E.G. Electrical Services is a full-service electrical contractor that serves residential, commercial and industrial clients in Santa Clara County. The company's services include interior and exterior lighting design and installation; appliance hookups; emergency back-up generator installation; electrical system upgrades; voice, data and video cabling; and emergency electrical troubleshooting.
Owner Edward Gorginian says his three-plus decades of electrical contracting experience allow him to approach each job individually.“I understand that each client has different requirements and constraints, so I interview them before the job starts to determine their exact needs. Then, I design an electrical or lighting system to meet those needs.”
E.G. Electrical Services' electrical systems are designed to anticipate clients' future needs to reduce upgrade costs. "I always install additional circuits when I do a panel upgrade," says Mr. Gorginian. "If a client needs to add an additional load, the system is ready for it."
When he finishes a job, Mr. Gorginian always follows up to ensure the client is satisfied. "If I've used a subcontractor, such as a stucco repair person to repair the walls after the electrical work, I always visit the site again to ensure the job was done properly," he says. "When I take on a project, I take on all the responsibility."
In addition to running his business and caring for his clients, Mr. Gorginian teaches electrical classes at San Jose City College and the Central County Occupational Center (CCOC), training a new generation of electricians, contractors, building inspectors and architects.
